...newspapers see through the fog and glimpse the lighthouse beyond? This great country of ours has gone through dozens of depressions and emerged from every one of them richer and stronger than ever before.

She carried Harry Whitney, Philadelphia financier-naturalist,* and Junius Bird, archeologist. Mr. Bird had gone on the cold 15,000-mi. trip because he had a mystery he wanted to solve. In 1823, the British explorer, Capt. D. C. Clavering had visited a highly civilized Eskimo settlement along the eastern coast. Since Clavering, no explorer had been able to find the town again. Captain Bartlett landed...
